Will Oxybutinin Chloride Tablets Work On The Same Way As Vesicare?

I was given a sample of Vesicare to try and with just one 5mg pill a day the results have been wonderful. I asked for a prescription and they subbed oxybuttnin Cloride tablets. I do NOT like taking meds unless I truly need them - and this I do - but will this work in the same way as the Vesicare? I have had medications subbed and they do not work and I had to go back to the original. I am worried about side effects and this new on says take it thee times a day when with Vesicare I was taking just one. thank you

Hi,

Oxybutinin and vicecare (solifencin) both belong to same group called anti muscarinic. They both are used in urinary problems. I understand there is no major difference in the two regarding their mechanism of action and efficacy.

So, I hope it would work as better as vesicare. However because of different in half life Oxybutinin need to be taken 3 times a day. But it is a substitute of it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
